Cosmic Ancestry: Panspermia and the Origins of Life | MHP 01.18.21.

<p>What are the origins of life on Earth? Did the building blocks for life originate here, or did they travel to our planet in the distant past from someplace further out in the cosmos? </p> <p>On this <span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">week's edition of</span> <em style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> The Micah Hanks Program, </em>we explore the idea of panspermia or "cosmic ancestry," which supposes that for life to exist on a planet like ours may rely on extraterrestrial factors. We also look at ideas about whether aliens might already recognize that we exist but choose not to communicate with us, or even whether alien life may already exist right here on Earth.</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.gralienreport.com/x">The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.</a></p> <p><strong>Enjoy <em>The Micah Hanks Program</em>? <a href= "https://www.micahhanks.com/shows/">Check out Micah's other podcasts here</a>. </strong></p> </blockquote> <h3><strong>Want to advertise/sponsor <em>The Micah Hanks Program</em>?</strong></h3> <p>We have partnered with the fine folks at <strong><em>AdvertiseCast</em></strong> to handle our advertising/sponsorship requests.
